01. Death of a SnowmanMonday - April 16, 2006

Someday all the things that we worry about today won't even matter. . . . . . and the things we hold on to so dearly will be gone. . . . . (That's what this once snowman reminded me of)

Hello! Wishing you a great month of May! As usual, here I am again with my monthly greeeting card of photos to answer everyone's common

question "Kamusta ka na?" (How are you?).

Overall, I am fine. Thanks for asking (for those who bothered to ask that is - hehehe). Please keep the e-mails coming. Everyone seems to be fading away from me. This month, I only got 7 e-mails. The rest of it were forwarded messages, with no personal effort put in them (I consider them junk e-mails). One thing is for sure. Only time will tell who my true friends are. (My Drama - Boo Hoo).

(a note: 2/27/2007 - I have since grown up from this. I just realised what I was saying (that I didn't know I was actually saying then) "If my friends do not e-mail me, that I am no longer worthy of their friendship. That they are not true friends of mine" That's crap. My self worth is not going to be based on how often others think of me or email me but what I think of myself as worthy regardless of. Otherwise it should be called otherworth)

04. Frozen lakeJim Smiths Lake. Frozen. Took this while taking a break from Helen's Driving Lessons. Taken in the early evening.

This is where I hang out (by myself usually) when the weather allows. I sit there and watch the town of Marysville just below. This is my special place, where I read, or go deep in thought & Recharge. Joanne wanted to see where it was and so I took her there and we built a bonfire to keep ourselves warm.

Exactly a year ago, I went driving to Nelson all alone. Back then, I thought, had I someone special to share this trip with, It would be so much better. On this trip, I have Ron. Wish granted. I Inserted pictures of that trip last year as you can see. How time flies. How things have changed. How I've grown.

Taken the next day, after we arrived in Nelson. Last night Ron and I partied and got ourselves drunk. It was a great get away from work. This city felt like Baguio City. That's why i love Nelson! I could imagine myself living here.

When will you e-mail me? I get fewer and fewer e-mails each month. As time moves on, it feels as if everyone is just fading away. I try & keep in touch but everyone is just so busy with their own lives.
